The Features and Uses of the 4 Brushes

Here we introduce each of the four distinctively featured brushes. Click on each image to see photos showing how to use them.

▲Tsubo Kororin (Full-Body Brush)

With ten pins shaped like little thumbs, this brush rolls and taps gently from your head down to the soles of your feet. It's an item that supports your health through pleasant stimulation. Made of natural material, it gains more color and luster the more you use it.

1. Head: Roll gently from the crown downward. Using a towel keeps hair from getting tangled in the pins.
2. Shoulders: Roll lightly over the neck, shoulders, and décolletage.
3. Arms: For sagging arms, roll from the inside of the upper arm outward as if pushing it out.
4. Fingertips: Roll over both the back and palm of the hand.
5. Lower Back: Within reach, tap and roll from top to bottom to improve blood flow.
6. Back: Lying down and having a family member roll it over every corner is a great way to relax.
7. Ankles: Roll around the inner and outer ankles.
8. Calves: Roll gently to soothe tired legs.

Recommended For People who want to care for their whole body, those who want to enhance their bath time, and anyone interested in pressing acupressure points on the soles of the feet

▲Tsubo Kororin (Full-Body Brush) Super Tanton

A carefully designed "fist surface" conceived by a chiropractor. This massage brush was made with painstaking attention to the shape, weight, pressure, and gentleness of a child's clenched fist. The comfort of that "fist surface" is truly something to experience.

• Use the bamboo pin side to tap the whole body: Care for your whole body with a light, brisk rhythm.
• Use the fist side on fleshy areas: The fist surface is just right for fleshy areas like the thighs, buttocks, and belly.
• On the arch of the foot: The fist surface fits comfortably against the sole of the foot, making it a great choice for anyone who values relaxation before bed.
• Tap the shoulders: Tap about 30 times from the center of the back (spine) outward to each side. Do this while breathing deeply and relaxing.
• Tap wherever you feel tension in the body: It's also nice to press the bamboo pins gently against the scalp, or use them around the ears. Just a few minutes a day loosens up the body, so anyone can easily incorporate it into their routine.

Recommended For People who spend a lot of time at a desk, those prone to stiff necks and shoulders, anyone who values relaxation before bed, and those who want an easy way to care for themselves between tasks

▲Yubimaro (Face and Scalp Brush)

A small but excellent tool that can be used in many ways with just one brush. Its gentle curve fits snugly against the arms and legs. The tip of the handle is handy as a substitute for a thumb when you want to press firmly on a single acupressure point. It can also be used as a travel hairbrush.

◆ Additional Ways to Use It

• Scalp massage before shampooing
• Gentle brushing from the crown over the whole head
• Gentle stimulation of the entire scalp
• Gentle brushing along the lymph lines of the face
• Care for the neck and décolletage
• Massage around the ears
• Facial massage after cleansing
• Hair care while traveling
•  

Recommended For People who want to improve their scalp condition, those who want to enrich their face care routine, anyone looking to refresh the area around the face, and people who travel or go on business trips often

▲Bamboo Pin Brush (Hairbrush)

There are brushes made from various materials for scalp care, but here's why the bamboo pin brush stands out: it feels so good you'll want to use it every day. Its light, gentle natural material takes care of your hair and scalp whether it's a busy morning or a tired evening.

• Gentle scalp stimulation​: Gently stimulating the scalp with the brush improves blood flow and provides a pleasant sensation on the scalp.
• Scalp care​: Brushing lifts away sebum buildup and clogging in the pores, enhancing the cleansing effect when you shampoo.
• Beautiful hair effect: By smoothing the hair's cuticle, it leads to shinier, more manageable hair.
• Relaxation and lifting effect: Gently massaging the scalp provides a relaxing effect and a refreshed feeling to the face.

◆ Proper Brushing Method

To avoid damaging your scalp and hair, it's important to brush using the correct method.

1. Gently work out tangles starting from the ends: Brushing suddenly from the roots puts strain on the hair and can cause breakage or split ends. Start by carefully working out tangles a few centimeters at a time, beginning at the tips.
2.  
3. From roots to tips: Once the tips are smoothly detangled, move the brush from the scalp roots toward the tips to smooth the whole head of hair. At this point, rather than pressing the brush straight down, angle it from the side and rotate it as you brush for a gentler feel against the skin.
4.  
5. Scalp massage: Gently stimulate the scalp with the brush's pins. Rather than pressing hard or brushing the same spot repeatedly, use a pressure that feels comfortable. Massaging from the hairline toward the back of the head, and from the nape of the neck toward the crown, helps promote blood circulation.
6.  
7. Before shampooing, too: Brushing before shampooing removes tangles, lifts away scalp dirt, and helps create a richer lather.

◆ Additional Ways to Use It

• Scalp massage (brushing while pressing gently)
• Styling to lift hair from the roots
• A must-have for static electricity during dry seasons
• Brushing to work hair oil through the hair

Why a Bamboo Pin Brush

Recommended for: those concerned about hair shine and manageability, those bothered by static electricity, those who want to reconsider their daily hair care routine, and those who want to maintain youthful-looking hair

Care and Usage Precautions

Tsubo Kororin
If dirt or stains bother you, wipe with a soft cloth; please refrain from washing with water.
Pins: Please note that pressing hard or pulling on the pins may cause them to come loose from the base.
Base: This is made of an oil-resistant rubber material, but oil components and frequency of use may accelerate deterioration.

Super Tanton
The shaft is made of nylon. While it offers excellent heat resistance and durability, please do not use or leave it in places with extremely high or low temperatures. It is also designed with just the right amount of flex, so applying excessive force may cause it to break—please handle it gently. Please also note that deterioration may occur with long-term use.

Common to All Bamboo Pin Brushes
Keep it clean: Always keep your brush clean. After use, remove any hair caught in the brush, and we recommend regularly washing it with water or a cleaning agent.
Don't overdo it: While scalp massage can be beneficial, overdoing it may damage the hair roots or put strain on the scalp. Use an appropriate frequency and pressure.
Choosing a brush: For scalp care, a cushioned paddle brush or cushion brush is recommended. For a glossy finish, a boar bristle brush is well suited.
